perhaps and maybe in another time and place i could have entered into forever with you. it was a short bliss, a melding of minds. but the tides were not in our favour, our ships drifted apart. and i watched from the shore, as you crashed upon the rocks. and now you flounder, drawing breath and drowing, in turn. and i wonder if i could save you. and i have so many words i want to tell you, i have so many fixes i could give you. i see that you can be so magnificent, if not at the mercy of the sirens. i can no longer be your oarsman, i can no longer mend your sails. i am sailing another current. but i want to help you chart your course, i want to show you the stars to follow. you are lost, and the only captain that can mend you, is living in your mirror.
